Jill Scott Talks Divorce
Singer Jill Scott is speaking out on a subject she's rarely discussed in detail, her divorce from her ex-husband.
The songstress whose Light Of The Sun album hits stores today, sat down for an interview with The Guardian and revealed that she knew her marriage was over when her husband refused to eat her food.
"One of the reasons my ex-husband and I broke up is that he stopped eating my food. He was pissed [off] for other reasons, but the best way to show me was by leaving what I'd made for him uneaten for days on the kitchen counter. It was a smack in the face."
Following her divorce Scott went on to have a relationship with her drummer who later became the father of her 2-year-old son Jett. She tells The Guardian that she's impressed with how quickly her child is growing.
"I panicked when my son, Jett, stopped eating baby food. He's only two but his food vocabulary is fantastic. He likes my baked tilapia and string beans with chopped garlic. But he really likes pizza. Sometimes every inanimate object to him is pizza."
In addition to speaking on her personal life, Scott was recently spotted in Atlanta showing off her new slimmed down look.
As previously reported Jill revealed to Ebony that she enlisted a diet and trainer to lose 50 pounds.

Poetic Waves
| Angel Island
About Us
Your browser does not support iframes.
Poetry As the Chinese immigrants awaited their fate on Angel Island, they expressed their anxiety and frustrations through poetry they left on the same walls they were confined in. Many served as a warning of their detention for other travelers who may come with the same false optimistic hope. Leaving friends and family behind at home, they came abroad in search of a better life and their resentment at the treatment the Americans granted them. Interrogations could take a long time to complete, especially if witnesses for the immigrants lived in the eastern United States. Some detainees expressed their feelings in poetry that they carved into the wooden walls of the detention center. Others simply waited, hoping for a favorable response to their appeals, but fearing deportation. Journey, Homesick, Detainment, Interrogations, Hope, Americans Tour When the Angel Island Immigration Station officially opened in 1910, it was considered ideal because of its isolation. The objective was to exclude new immigrants from entering the country. Once used for military occupation, the buildings were not a welcoming facility. On the shores where immigrants first stepped foot in America, there once stood a pier and administration building until a fire destroyed much of the facility in 1940. The Pier bell still stands on the beach where immigrants arrived. This is where our tour begins. The new station would prevent Chinese immigrants from communicating with those in San Francisco, isolate immigrants with communicable diseases, and, like the prison on nearby Alcatraz Island, be escape proof. Administration Building, Warf The pier was the primary entrance for the Immigration Station. It led straight out from the Administration Building with a slanted T-bar dock crossing at the end of it. The dock contained a light and a fog bell. When arriving at the pier, Chinese men were immediately separated from women and children. Europeans travelers would have already had their papers processed and been allowed to disembark on the mainland. Asians and other immigrants, including Russians, Mexicans, and others, as well as those who needed to be quarantined for health reasons, would be ferried to Angel Island for processing. Hospital The hospital was located on the hillside to the northeast side of the station. This facility was used for medical examinations, medical care, and detention quarters when needed. Here, they would also be tested for parasitic infections. Consequences could be severe for failing this test, including hospitalization at their own expense or deportation. There were also some poems that were found on the walls here, but much fewer than in the barracks. If a detainee needed a medical examination, a humiliating experience for Asians, whose medical practice does not include disrobing before strangers or being probed and measured by metal calipers. Barracks After new arrivals examinations, the Immigrants were assigned a bunk in the Barracks, where they would await their interrogations to begin. The barracks is where most spent their days and nights. It was a two-story wooden building situated on a hillside above the Administration Building. A fence enclosed the barracks, a recreation yard, and a guard tower. It had been deemed by public health officials to be a firetrap, the smell from the bathrooms was unbearable, and at times there were prisoners being kept there. Under such conditions, some demanded to be returned to China on the next boat out. Administration Building The main building at the station was the two-story Administration Building. It contained rooms for examinations, registration, the Chief Inspector, doctors, detentions, baggage, and employee dorms. Here, new arrivals would be tested for parasitic infections before entering the grounds. Consequences could be severe for failing this test, including hospitalization at their own expense or deportation. The building in the back right is the barracks and the one on the left is the hospital. In 1940, a fire destroyed the Administration Building and hastened the government decision to permanently abandon the Immigration Station on Angel Island. Timeline Immigrants from southern China began arriving in San Francisco during the 1850's, fleeing from a natural disasters and a falling economy. When the California economy took a downturn in the 1870s, many economic problems were blamed on the highly visible Chinese minority by newspapers and politicians. After a series of anti-Chinese laws were passed at state levels, soon attracting the attention of politicians where both parties in Congress supported the first of several acts targeting immigration from Asia. 1851, 25,000 Chinese immigrants had left their homes and moved to California, a land some came to call gam saan, or "gold mountain". 1862, California passes a "police tax" of $2.50 a month on every Chinese 1869, the final spike was driven into the rails of the Transcontinental Railroad, after a record-breaking five years of construction. Hundreds or Chinese lost their lives during construction. 1870, the Sidewalk Ordinance of banned the Chinese method of carrying vegetables and carrying laundry on a pole 1873, Queue Ordinance outlawed the wearing of long braids by men, a Chinese custom. 1888, Scott Act renders 20,000 Chinese reentry certificates null and void. 1892, Geary Law entends Chinese exclusion for another 10 years and requires all Cihnese to registers. 1902, Chinese exclusion extended for another ten years and requires all Chinese to register. 1906, San Francisco earthquake and fire destroyed municipal records. This created an opportunity for the city's Chinese to claim children on return visits to their ancestral villages. These events, in turn, gave birth to the "paper son" and "paper daughter" industry. 1914, Some Chinese Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces in World War I and became heroes. 1919, A riot breaks out in the cafeteria due to the quality of food. Federal troops were called in to restore order. 1925, The Immigration Exclusion Act was passed and continued to discriminate against Asian immigrants by denying entry to virtually all Asian. 1930, Restrictions against Chinese immigrants began to ease. Congress passed an act providing the admission of Chinese wives who were married to American citizens. 1932, 92 poems are collected into manuscripts by Smiley Jann and Tet Yee. 1943, Congress repeals all Chinese exclusion laws and grants right of naturalization and a small immigration quota to Chinese. 1960- Chinese immigration explodes, and brought a new, and very different, group of immigrants to America's shores. 1965- Immigration and Naturalization Act of, eliminated the old quota system that gave preference to western Europeans. As a result, the Chinese American population in the U.S. almost doubled within ten years. 1968- Students on strike at San Francisco State University to demand establishment of ethnic studies programs. 1969 - Students at the University of California, Berkeley, go on strike for establishment of ethnic studies programs. 1980s- Many more people from China, including university students, joined the migration to the U.S., and many settled here permanently. People At the beginning of the 20th century, millions of immigrants flooded America in search of a better life. On the west coast, most were greeted by the wooden buildings of Angel Island. Turmoil in China forced entire villages to pull their resources into sending their most intelligent scholar to America to send money home, However, their hopes were often destroyed by their detainment on Angel Island. This sections hears their voice. Mr. Lowe, age 16 , page 75 1939 I had nothing to do there. During the day, we stared at the scenery beyond the barbed wires – the sea and the sky and the clouds that were separated from us. Besides listening to the birds outside the fence, we could listen to records and talk to old-timers in the barracks. Some, due to faulty responses during the interrogation and lengthy appeal procedures, had been there for a few years. They poured out their sorrow unceasingly. Their greatest misery stemmed from the fact that most of them had had to borrow money for their trips to America. Some mortgaged their houses; some sold their land' some had to borrow at such high interest rates that their family had to sacrifice. A few committed suicide in the detention barracks. Mr. Yip, age 26, page 136 In 1921 I really didn't want to come, but my father bought me a paper. I figured I'd come and stay for three months or so and go back. My father and three uncles were already here in the United States. The man who claimed me as his son came from Mexico. There were some contradictions in our testimonies, so we hired an attorney. It was no use. They deported me, along with the old-timers who had gone back home and come back but were found to be infected by hookworm. I left my home on the sixth day of the sixth moon and I returned on the sixth day of the sixth moon the following year. It was exactly one year. Mr. Dea, age 26, page 137 In 1939 "In general, the feelings were: one, an eagerness to leave and go on to San Francisco, and two, to get the interrogation over with. Until then, no one was very happy. At the time, we did no understand America's immigration laws. We were told that we had to come through Angel Island. Most did not think to protest. If the food was bad, we put up with it. Out treatment wasn't cruel, so we just endured the period and hoped for it to pass. Only those who were detained and separated from relatives for a long time and who were going through the appeal process after spending a lot of money to come in the first place suffered. They were the ones who wrote the angry and bitter poems. But looking back now at how the United States treated Chinese and Asian Immigrants, we can see how unequal and unfair the treatment was." Mr. Tong, age 20, page 96 In 1932 When I was there, we were treated very poorly. For example, other people, such as Italians and Japanese, were provided with toilet paper and soap; just the Chinese didn't have it. We had to have it sent down to us from San Francisco. Because I had been there for six-months, I was elected President of the Self-Governing Organization. We thought this was not very fair, so with some other officers of the Organization, I went and successfully negotiated for toilet paper and soap." Katherine Maurer There were local Americans who visited the Immigration Station, the most helpful and famous being Deaconess Katherine Maurer. Known as the "Angel of Angel Island," she was appointed by the Women's Home Missionary Society to do welfare work on the island in 1912. She worked full-time until 1940, when the station closed. Her main duty was to give English lesions, but she also eased the fear of the detainees buy bringing items such as soap, toothbrushes, and stationery. She also brought games and dolls for the children. The district director stated, "Much credit is due to the fine welfare work carried on by Miss Maurer at this immigration station." Other Immigrants A journey across the Pacific Ocean has many stops including Honolulu, Manila, Yokohama, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Many passengers could barely afford their travel tickets alone and needed help of relatives and neighbors. They all believed one thing: that they could make that money back quickly in America. Other immigrants came from the Punjab, Russia, the Philippines, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Latin America.

Be among the first to see Vanguard's Christof Putzel report on the future of the adult entertainment industry, "Porn 2.0" before its premiere on Current TV this Wednesday. In the piece, Putzel examines how the industry — which has always been at the forefront of Internet technology — is fostering new innovation in order to stay afloat at a time when fewer customers are paying for their pleasure. Hulu had the opportunity to speak to Putzel to speak about the report last week. You catch Vanguard on your TV set Wednesdays at 10/9c on Current TV. — Rebecca Harper (), Editor
Hulu: What sparked your interest in the relationship between porn and Internet technology?
Vanguard's Christof Putzel: If you use the Internet, it's hard to ignore the existence of porn. It shows up in your inbox as spam, as links to your unrelated search inquiries. It's everywhere. It's no secret that pornography has been at the cutting edge of media for decades. Pornography is what we have to thank for some of the expansion at the early days of the Internet. So what I was interested in was, in this day and age when mainstream industries like the movie business and the music business are all struggling to figure out how to best utilize the internet and not keep losing their shirts, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how the porn industry was doing. It's traditionally been one step ahead of mainstream businesses when it came to distribution formats.
What were some of the biggest surprises you encountered while working on this story?
I think that I was most surprised by just how much the adult industry is hurting as a whole. There's a common misconception that anyone can make a dollar dabbling in Internet porn. While there might have been some truth to that 10 years ago, even the well-established companies are having trouble staying in business today. There's just so much free pornography out there on the Internet, whether pirated or homemade. Many consumers just see the need to pay for it anymore. That's kind of ironic, that the same technologies that helped push the industry forward — you know, things like cheap cameras and faster Internet connections — are today bringing it to its knees.
Did you find that you were shocked by any of the things that you saw?
Oh man, yeah. I was shocked by a lot of things when I visited Kink.com's offices. I'm no prude, but the porn that Kink was producing was unlike anything that the darkest, most warped part of my conscious could come up with. Their business model is based on appealing to those with niche fetishes. So it can be a bit much to handle for an unfamiliar outsider, like myself. The company houses its offices and production studios inside the old San Francisco Armory building. When you walk through the hallways, it has this dungeon-castle type atmosphere. The first room that I was taken to was the blacksmith's workshop, where they build all the cages and the props. When I walked in, the blacksmith was trying to figure out how to construct a device that could simultaneously send electric currents from a car battery to various parts of the female anatomy. That was just like, "Oh, just another day at the office" for them. And then I was escorted into a room that contained multiple shelves lined with various electronics: a KitchenAid cake mixer, a leaf blower, chainsaw; all modified to perform the task that their website implies. But perhaps the most surreal machine was a replica of the beloved Johnny 5 robot from Short Circuit. That movie stirs up fond childhood memories for me, it's a 1988 classic. It kind of threw me a little bit when the robot followed me around the room.
Do you feel like you ever became more comfortable around all of it?
I think what was most shocking was just how normal I found everyone to be. You have this feeling that it's gonna be like a kid in a candy store. It was actually just a lot of people working. I guess as someone who works in media production for a company that has a giant website and is into new media, I think I had a preconceived notion of the types of characters who would sink so low to take a job in an industry that's widely considered to be at the bottom of the barrel. But every employee that I met appeared very cheerful, and genuinely ecstatic and grateful for the opportunity to work there. And they were smart. Many of them had turned down job offers at mainstream companies to have the opportunity for more creative freedom. The guys in the IT department really felt like they were on the cutting edge, Internet-wise. They felt that they were getting challenges and opportunities that they couldn't get at other companies. I think that's what I found most shocking. It kind of blew away my stereotypes.
As far as being desensitized, I think that no; it was still a pretty new experience for me to see people having sex right next to me. I think it was hard for me to become desensitized because, in both instances, when I went to Kink and when I went to Wicked, I actually went and interviewed and talked to them first, and got to know them a little bit. So then seeing them take their clothes off and have sex felt wrong in a way. I think that's why it was a little hard to become desensitized.
Of course, you touch on this a bit, but how did the insiders feel about their jobs?
You know, that was another one that blew me away. The interns at Kink.com couldn't be more ecstatic to be cleaning [props], hoping for the chance to be promoted to one day be producing or directing their own porn, or at least play a larger role in the production process. I think that was another part that was just so shocking. Everyone I met genuinely believed in what they were doing. The common perception is that there is a lot of abuse in the industry, and while I'm sure that still exists, the people that I encountered were definitely doing what they were doing because they wanted to be. I'd say people like TomKat [seen in the web extra] seems to absolutely love her job. The geeks in the IT departments, I think one of them said to me "We're a company where you can fulfill not only all of your sexual fantasies, but all of your technological fantasies, as well." That's a geek thing to say, but he clearly likes it.
What also became very clear was that, to stay afloat these days in the adult entertainment industry, you've got to work really hard at it, and you've got to really want to stay afloat — because otherwise, you'll go under. I think that a lot of the characters from back in the day that might have been sluggish to get online and stuck in their ways, or technically just not very bright, I think they're being weeded out.
Can you touch on some of the innovations from porn that are now present in mainstream Internet technology?
E-commerce. The first pioneers of e-commerce were in the adult industry, pushing further what kind of credit card transaction could take place over the Internet. Affiliate marketing was pioneered and embraced by porn online and quickly became a system basically every mainstream company that advertises on the web uses. Kink certainly was the first one to be doing multiple galleries of photos, high-speed streaming video. At the time I interviewed them, Kink.com was the only company who had figured out how to stream high definition live on the web. It's fascinating to see these guys in the basement building the technology out of wood and spare parts, and figuring out how to do it. I thought that was very telling.
How is the rise of Internet porn affected the more established porn companies?
It's affected them tremendously. The technology has kind of caught up with itself. The same technology that pushed the industry forward is now killing its profits. It's doing that mainly through privacy, where people are just ripping off DVDs and putting them online through tube sites and bit torrent sites. The genre's changed, where people like gonzo and amateur porn, which is incredibly cheaply produced and it's very short. Now people just want to see two or three minutes of porn and, you know, get it over with, and aren't necessarily sitting down in their living rooms with a DVD that they just bought to watch a whole storyline unfold. A lot of people were predicting, like all the format wars — BetaMax vs. VHS, DVD — whatever porn chose would win. A lot of people were predicting that Blu-Ray and the HD DVD war would be decided by porn. And it wasn't. The theory of why it wasn't was because the Internet had been involved this time. People want to watch porn in privacy, on their laptops or on their iPhones. They don't necessarily need the high-def value and surround sound that the living room would require.
Last year, the biggest-selling porn DVD wasn't from any big porn companies, it was Paris Hilton. She's what they call the "accidental porn star". That's giving these big companies a serious run for their money and putting a lot of them under. Now the challenge that they're facing is how do they continue to innovate? How do they provide a service people will pay for? Essentially, it's what everyone else is trying to figure out — journalism, Hulu. Everyone's trying to figure out how to make a dollar off of this. Some of the more innovative companies are trying to provide experiences that can't be pirated, being more interactive, creating communities, doing things live. I think you see at the conference, there's an on-demand service that syncs with a machine you can attach to yourself and watch things in sync. That's an experience you won't be able to pirate. That's what's coming next. I think that, like everyone else, they're just scratching the surface.
What was that experience like?
I was kind of so flabbergasted at the time that something like this existed. But you know, yeah, I got where they were going, definitely. … I don't know if that's the future, but it's very telling of what they discovered that they need to provide in order to survive.
Changing gears a bit, what will you be covering next on Vanguard?
Right now I'm editing a piece about cocaine trafficking in Europe and the growth of the Nigerian mafia. Cocaine use in Europe is at an all-time high, and in order for South America to meet the demand, they have started trafficking cocaine in high volumes through West Africa for geographical and proximity issues. It's creating quite a stir. It's called "The Cocaine Mafia."
What have been some of your favorite assignments for Vanguard?
I think we have the greatest job in the world. We travel around, getting to meet people and understand situations that most people would probably even know. I think that going to Mogadishu was certainly probably one of the most intense reporting experiences I've ever had. We went there with our own private militia of 16 armed guards and were some of the first Western journalists to report from there in 15 years. I'd say that it was a petrifying but amazing experience. Definitely one of my favorites.
I'll be that the porn piece seemed kind of safe after some of your other assignments.
You know, it did. I think Vanguard has covered a lot of doom and gloom. I covered Africa multiple times; disease, drugs, death, destruction, war, fighting, and honestly, I need to lighten it up a little for myself. So that's kind of why I chose this story. I needed something a little lighter, just to take a break. I think that this season needs to be broken up a little bit and provide people a little something different. If you use the Internet, it's almost part of your everyday life.
Have you had any scary experiences in general, stuff we could share with our users?
There's a great scene in Mogadishu. There are two great moments in that story: one when we're first entering Mogadishu for the first time and we're basically stopped at gunpoint, and we think we're about to be executed. There was another moment where we were trying to hide up on a hill while filming the largest public prayer gathering in a mosque in 15 years. We're hiding up on the hill when everybody, the thousands of people below us, turned and faced west to begin praying and we realized that we were to the west and everyone was staring right up at us. I think the line in the piece was, "If there was ever any secret that two white guys were hanging out in Mogadishu, that cat was now out of the bag."
I went and interviewed these skinheads in Russia and I ended up in the middle of the woods in this training camp. I was really trying to understand what was behind these guys' motivations. When I discovered that this guy I was talking to was genuinely ecstatic watching himself beating people up, it was my first realization that I was interviewing a psychopath. That was pretty scary.

Searching for your ancestors in online records has become the rage in the genealogical world over the past couple of years. And of all of the data that you can search, census records must be by far the most common place to find information on your ancestors.
It's not all that tough to find your ancestors in the census records, by doing a quick search at ancestry.com or familysearch.org. And it's quite a thrill to find the entire family of one of your ancestors, with each member of the family listed, along with their age at the time the census was taken.
What gets interesting is when you try to use census records to provide a bit more information on the birth date of one of your ancestors. If you already know the birth dates for family members that you are finding, the age information in the census record can just help ensure that you're looking at the right person. But if you don't yet have a birth date, or have conflicting information, it's possible to use the person's age at census time as just another piece of evidence to help you arrive at the correct birth date.
Be Careful!
Be careful here. Birth date information deduced by looking at the age at time of census is not a primary source. In fact, it's probably one of the least reliable pieces of evidence for the purpose of calculating a birth date. Think about the circumstances and the setting at the time the information is gathered. A census taker goes from house to house, asking people verbally to tell them who lives at that house and how old each resident is (among other things). The validity of the answers, especially when it comes to age, depends on so many things—how carefully the census taker records what he/she hears, whether the resident actually knows the age of the person in question, and whether they take the time to remember the age of each person in the house. It's also probably pretty common for people to have lied about their age.
The quality of the data was also likely dependent on who answered the door. If Grandpa answered and he was eager to get rid of the census taker, he may have rattled off a bunch of names and ages quickly, without worrying whether or not he got them right. On the other hand, if the mother of a family answered the door, odds are pretty good that she'd correctly remember the ages of her kids.
Calculating a "Birth Date Range"
It's still useful to look at census data and to use it to calculate a range of possible birth dates, based on the ages of the people listed.
So how do we calculate a range of possible birth dates, based on what we find in the census record? It's as simple as subtracting the listed age from the date on which the census was taken. The date that you get becomes the "latest birth", or the most recent possible date of birth, given that age.
For example, let's say that my grandpa was listed as being 18 yrs old in the 1920 census, and the census sheet in question lists the census date as being Jun 1, 1920. In other words, on Jun 1, 1920, the census taker stopped at the house and was told that Ted Sexton was 18 yrs old. This means that the latest that Ted can have been born was Jun 1, 1902. This would be Ted's birth date if he had just turned 18 on the day that the census taker stopped by. The other way to look at it is that this is the youngest that Ted could be, if the stated age was correct.
At the other end of the spectrum, Ted's earliest possible birth date is Jun 1, 1901—one year earlier than the latest date mentioned above. If Ted was born late in the day on Jun 1, 1901 and the census taker visited early on Jun 1, 1920, Ted would still be 18 years old—turning 19 later that day. So this is the earliest possible birth date for Ted and the oldest that he could be, if the stated age was correct.
So we end up with the following possible range of birth dates for Ted:
Census Date: 6/1/1920
Stated Age: 18
Birth Date Range: Between 6/1/1901 and 6/1/1902
So Ted was born sometime between 6/1/1901 and 6/1/1902—but only if he was truly 18 years old on 6/1/1920. Remember—although we end up with a precise range of dates, our original census data should still be considered fairly unreliable. So this date range should just be treated as evidence—nothing more.
Factoring In a Second Census Record
Now that we have one possible range of birth dates for Ted, we can go find another census record and factor in the information that we find there. Let's say that we now move to the 1930 census and we find the following information:
Census Date: 10/15/1930
Stated Age: 28
Birth Date Range: Between 10/15/1901 and 10/15/1902
We use the same method as before to calculate a possible range of birth dates, given the stated age.
But now we can take this one step further. If both ages were stated correctly (and that still might be a big "if"), we've further reduced the possible range of dates for Ted's birth. Here's how it works:
Range #1: Betw 6/1/1901 and 6/1/1902
Range #2: Betw 10/15/1901 and 10/15/1902
Calculated Range: Betw 10/15/1901 and 6/1/1902
We've gone from a 12-month range to an 8-month range, narrowing in on Ted's actual birth date. Note that all we did here was to look at where the two ranges overlapped and calculate the final range as that overlap, or the intersection of the ranges. For example, range #2 said that Ted could not have been born before 10/15/1901. This means that part of range #1 has just been ruled out—he could not have been born between 6/1/1901 and 10/14/1901. In a similar way, the end of range #2 is also chopped off. In the end, dates between 10/15/1901 and 6/1/1902 are the only dates that fall within both stated ranges.
A Tool to Help You Do These Calculations
I've put together a simple web-based tool to help you do birth date calculations like the ones that we just ran through.
You can find the tool by clicking on the link below (or entering it into your browser):
The Census Birth Date Calculator – www.famthings.com/census/default.aspx
Getting Started
Once you go to this site, you may see a little icon indicating that you need to first install Microsoft Silverlight:
If you see this logo, go ahead and click on it to install Silverlight, which is a browser plugin that is required in order to run the Census Birth Date Calculator. The install should go quickly. When it completes, just refresh the web page and you should see the calculator.
The Census Birth Date Calculator
Here's what the main body of the calculator looks like when you start:
This is pretty self explanatory. To use the calculator, just enter each of your census data records, one at a time, and click the "Add to List" button. Enter the date on which the census was taken in the "Census Date" field and enter the reported age of the person in question in the "Age at Census" field.
If we use the calculator to enter the census data for my grandpa, from above, we see the following after entering the first date:
Notice that the calculator spits out the Earliest/Latest birth range for this piece of census data: 6/1/1901 to 6/1/1902. It also shows a "calculated birth range" below the table that is the same range (for now).
Now let's add our second piece of census data for Ted. Here's what we end up with, after adding the new information to the list:
Notice that the calculator now lists out all three ranges of interest—the individual range for each of the two census records, and then the calculated (combined) range. As we showed earlier, the calculated range represents the overlap of the other two ranges. Based on the data that we started with, this is our current best guess as to Ted's birth date.
When Things Go Wrong
As we said, ages reported as part of census data are notoriously unreliable. Sooner or later, we're going to end up with a collection of dates that lead to inconsistent results. In other words—they can't possibly all be true, because there is no single birth date that would fit into each of the birth ranges.
Here's an example. Suppose we find one more piece of census data for Ted. This time, we find him in the 1905 Minnesota state census. The date of the census is 6/12/1905 and Ted's stated age is 4.
Now we've run into problems. Here is what the calculator tells us:
Notice that the Calculated Birth Range at the bottom of the list now tells us that it's not possible to calculate a range from these three census samples. They cannot all be true at the same time. Notice that the conflict arises between the age-28 and the age-4 entries. They have ranges which don't overlap, which means—they can't both be true.
At this point, the calculator provides a little help for you. If you like, you can play around with the data by including/excluding one or more of the pieces of data and seeing how that affects the calculated range. For example, if we had reason to believe that the age-28 entry was incorrect, we could uncheck the Include column for that entry and we'd get:
We have a valid range once again, which just means that the age-18 and age-4 entries do not conflict.
What Does It All Mean?
In the end, this calculator isn't likely to give you a final answer as to the birth date of an ancestor. It might help you narrow down the range of possible birth dates, but only if you believe in the validity of all of the census data that you find.
The other use for the birth date calculator is that it can help you zero in on which census records are suspicious, i.e. possibly inaccurate. If you have five records that are all consistent, and then a sixth that would generate a range of dates that don't overlap at all, then that sixth date is probably suspect.
So feel free to use this calculator to help you calculate some possible birth date ranges, based on census data. Let me know how it works for you and if you have any suggestions for how I might improve upon it.

I finally got around to catching the re-run of Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher. An excellent quartet — comedian D.L. Hughley, Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund, country music star Trace Adkins, and pundit Dan Savage — joined Maher for a round-table discussion of politics. One of the subjects that piqued my interest in particular was of the Confederate flag being flown in South Carolina and Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's cloaked support for it. Not surprisingly, the three liberals at the table were against it, and Adkins, the conservative, seemed indifferent about it.
I loved a couple of the points that were made in the discussion: that the American flag itself stands for blotches in this nation's history, and that white Christian males always have and always will try to keep the balance of power tipped in the favor of white Christian males.
Anyone who has been following current events lately knows what little the American flag stands for, if anything, these days. Get a calendar from each year 2000-2008, and point to a random date, and you can probably find this country doing something wrong. In 10 years or so, we will look at our operation in Iraq as angrily as we, or at least I, look at the C.I.A.-backed, Milton Friedman and Chicago School of Economics-led military junta of Augusto Pinochet in Chile. I needn't cite the USA PATRIOT Act or the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (which, in effect, made Habeas Corpus moot), or Guantanamo Bay, or Walter Reed, or waterboarding (which the U.S. condemned the Japanese for using in WWII), or Halliburton, or the lawless private military company Blackwater, or… you get the point. The American flag, if it supposedly stood for something like freedom, no longer stands for anything good.
And the second point also doesn't need clarification. There's a reason why atheists are the least-trusted minority in the U.S. and why we've never had a non-white, non-male, non-Christian President. Power has yet to change hands in this country's history and as long as we keep producing white male Christian politicians, it will stay this way. And no, this is not a thumbs-up to Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama in subterfuge. Look at all of the names we've had run for President just in recent history. 95% of them are white Christian males. It's amazing that we have not only a woman, not only an African-American, but a Mormon running for President, too. Too bad all of them are beholden to lobbyists of big business.
But my main point is the concern Americans seem to have about symbols. George Carlin did an hilarious bit on this during one of his HBO stand-up specials, saying that he leaves symbols to the "symbol-minded." We know that the Confederacy fought for the right to oppress African-Americans in the Civil War and that the Confederate flag represents that oppression, but seriously, what harm will a flag do and if there is any harm, how does it warrant infringing on others' right to free speech?
If it was a Christian symbol on a government building, I could see the offense because that is explicitly outlawed by the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. But this is a flag being flown in a state that was part of the Confederacy. If that's what they want to do, so be it. Ask them to take it down politely and if they decline, move on.
And on the topic of "states' rights," a favorite phrase of libertarians: what's the point? Let's take the issue of gay marriage, for instance. It'll obviously become legal in the liberal states and banned in the conservative states. So, homosexuals who want to get married in, say, Texas, will be forced to move to other states if they want to be legally bound to their partner. In other words, they'll be forced to give up their residence, their job, friends and neighbors, and perhaps family, all because they happen to live in a part of the country that is highly close-minded towards anyone who isn't heterosexual.
Is that freedom — banishing someone to another part of the country for having a quality that isn't viewed favorably by most people?
This idea of states' rights will also end up dividing the country exponentially deeper than it currently is now between conservatives and liberals. Just have a country-wide policy on these issues. That's why it's called the United States of America, right? It's not the "Some States do one thing and other states do another" America.
And, finally, libertarianism lends credence to ideas that may not deserve such credence. The idea that homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to get married does not deserve one ounce of respect from anyone, yet libertarians would like to give these people power potential. If you don't like gay people, fine, that's your prerogative. You have no right to tell them that they cannot be legally bound to their partners as heterosexuals are, and it doesn't matter if 99 out of 100 people feel this way.
Here's the clip of Maher's show. Hopefully something exciting happens in the world of baseball so I can put up a decent sports-related post.

In a season dominated by nature and, in particular, gardens, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli's interpretation of the theme for Valentino haute couture was among the most beautiful. And, here again, lightness was at the heart of that. However heavily worked a dress may be it must appear weightless or at least that is the thinking for now.
The story began with the Rococo curlicues of wrought iron gates embroidered onto elegant and perfectly cut ivory tailoring and continued to include the delicate colour palette of an Eighteenth Century garden - palest lilac, hawthorn, blush pink - and blossom appliqued and embroidered again across more overblown lace, organza and chiffon designs.
If the selling point of haute couture is exclusivity over and above anything as mundane as a trend then this was expressed throughout. Look closely at an ivory silk cocktail dress finished with clusters of tiny, pearlescent beads in fondant hues and discover that no two groupings are the same. The edges of row upon row of fluttering silk petals, meanwhile, were hand massaged so they frayed just so.
If last season's collection courtesy of these increasingly accomplished designers was almost austere, this time around purity - and innocence over and above experience - was the over-riding mood and a more gentle vision was upheld throughout. And that was lovely to see.
Certainly any bright and beautiful young woman for whom budget is no object would do well to shop for her bridal gown here.
According to Women's Wear Daily, Valentino is investing in its couture operation
both in terms of staffing and the opulence of the collections themselves. There was a time, in Valentino Garavani's own heyday, when this Rome-based house boasted the largest atelier of them all after all. "When we want to present the real Valentino, haute couture is always top of our minds," said CEO Stefano Sassi last week.

Not buying it: Medical professionals go generic, study shows
Researchers at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business have news for OTC drug marketers who may feel comfortable that branded drugs are highly regarded among HCPs: Don't be.
Looking at Nielsen Homescan data that covered over 66 million shopping trips between 2004 and 2010, the researchers found that medical professionals were more likely to buy private-label headache remedies vs. branded ones than peers in non health-related fields because they know more. In addition to headache meds, researchers also looked at food and drinks and found the same thing: the more consumers know about the materials in their products, the more likely they are to use private-label versions.
In terms of headaches, researchers found that were consumers to hit the pharmacists' awareness mark—89% familiarity with the active ingredients—that branded headache medicine sales could plummet 55%, amounting to about $410 million in sales. Elevate that level of awareness to other healthcare categories like cold medications, and this comes out to an additional $340 million. Spin it further, to include food staples like sugar (food professionals are the basis of this estimate) and drinks, and the overall sales-scape would shrink by $1.1 billion.

JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — A defining moment for Paul Ryan's hometown came at the height of the Great Recession: General Motors, after nearly a century of making Chevrolets on the banks of the Rock River, shut down its oldest assembly plant and erased 6,000 jobs.
A defining question of the campaign Ryan joined this week as the Republican Party's vice presidential nominee just might be what comes next for places like Janesville.
In the election battleground states of middle America, this is one of the many not-quite-small-towns but hardly-big-cities struggling to find their future. They were among the last places where high school educations led to solid blue-collar jobs. They are home to once-thriving small businesses now staggering from big employers shutting down.
For Republican Mitt Romney and his new running mate, the solution is lower taxes and fewer regulations. For President Barack Obama, it's more resources for schools, job training and infrastructure. The policies couldn't be much more different, even if they share the same goal: making America a more enticing place to do business.
And even when there's a hometown kid on the ballot, the election in cities such as Janesville is largely a choice about which path is the right route to prosperity.
"This town is in bad shape economically," said Bill Westphal, 72, a retired businessman who lives across the street from Ryan and his family. "We're out here on a limb. We have to make this town work."
Janesville, a town of 60,000 roughly 40 miles southeast of the capital city of Madison, is one of a dozen communities nationwide rocked by the near-collapse of General Motors. The company survives today after cutting roughly 22,000 blue-collar jobs and filing for bankruptcy in 2009.
This area's unemployment rate spiked to 12 percent in the immediate aftermath of the local plant's closure that April, and it remains just under 10 percent — higher than Wisconsin and the nation as a whole.
GM still owns the plant and, technically, it's on "standby." In reality, it's a deserted hulk of 4.8 million square feet surrounded by weed-choked parking lots. Most of its employees retired early or accepted offers to move to other plants. Even if the automaker reopened, city economic development director Vic Grassman says wages would be far lower because of union agreements struck before the plant was idled.
About 6,000 jobs were lost at the plant and at businesses it supported. At the Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealership in Janesville, manager Gary Sinks says sales are still ringing in at about half of what they were before GM "turned out the lights." In the year after the plant shut down, people simply stopped visiting his store and he was forced to lay off 10 people from his staff of 50.
"We downsized and we'd never done that," Sinks said. "It was pretty dark. That meant that everyone who was still there had to work harder and do a better job maintaining (relationships with) whatever customer was walking through the door."
Ryan's family wasn't immune. The earth-moving company the family's forebears founded in the mid-1880s, run today by Ryan's cousin Adam, was forced to sell some of its equipment and lay people off. Revenue has dropped 25 percent since 2008, said Jeff Schultz, the company's human resources manager.
"We just haven't had the demand. Business hasn't broken out," Schultz said. "We've accepted this as maybe the new normal."
As the GM plant headed for closure, Ryan — who has represented Janesville in Congress for the past 14 years — made a rare departure from his free-market orthodoxy that frowns on government intervention. He backed the federal bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, a bailout Romney has loudly said was a mistake, and teamed with Democrats in Madison and in Wisconsin's congressional delegation to unsuccessfully lobby GM to keep the plant running.
"It wasn't for lack of effort," said state Sen. Tim Cullen, a Janesville Democrat who praised Ryan's quiet efforts. "Paul was doing all this work and he told me about it, but he never put a press release out about it."
With the presidential campaign entering its final three months, neither Romney nor Obama will be that subtle as they hammer away at the issue of jobs. Obama has twice visited Newton, Iowa, since taking office; the city of 16,000 was devastated by the closure of a Whirlpool Corp. plant that employed 4,000. Romney has often focused on North Carolina, where cuts at the state's furniture manufacturers are among the 500,000 jobs lost there during the recession.
Janesville is making the same slow recovery that's typical elsewhere. City manager Eric Levitt said the city has added 1,000 jobs in the past 18 months, usually 50-to-100 at a time at existing employers. To foster that comeback, the city hasn't picked the Republican or the Democratic approach, but is using elements of both.
From the GOP: Streamlined permitting and tax cuts have aided in recruitment of new companies, including a medical technology company attracted by a tax break that could be worth as much as $9 million. The manufacturer of isotopes expects to open a new $24 million facility and employ 160 people in high-wage jobs by 2016.
From Democrats: Federal money for retraining assistance is filling classrooms at local vocational schools and colleges. At Blackhawk Technical College, welding programs that run from dawn until midnight six days a week are packed. That's helping address what city officials see as their biggest challenge: a mismatch between companies' expectations and the skills of those looking for work.
At the Harley-Davidson dealership, Sinks said he'd like the next president to reduce the regulatory burden on small businesses and try to discourage large U.S. companies from outsourcing jobs and manufacturing overseas. But when asked what's allowed him to rebuild his staff to the 50 he employed before GM shut down, he cites a renewed focus on excellent customer service, a new loyalty program and the overall improvement, however slow, in the nation's economy.
"We've tightened up," Sinks said. "We're seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. People who are secure in their jobs are spending money. And that's something I'm seeing today that I haven't seen in years."
Cullen, the Democratic state senator, said the federal government can help only so much, no matter who wins the White House. Cities such as Janesville probably hold their economic fate in their own hands, he said.
"A lot of it is really, truly local economic development effort," he said. "You don't come back from (the plant closing) in three-and-a-half years. Short of a giant home run of a company coming here with 2,000 to 3,000 jobs, which is kind of a pipe dream these days, it's going to be a slow slog back."

Kelly Layman
Executive Director of Communications
PRESS RELEASE: Florida Board of Governors' Annual Accountability Report transmitted to the Legislature, Governor
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—Feb. 1, 2012
Read the Accountability Report letter here
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—The Florida Board of Governors' just-released and completely reformatted "Annual Accountability Report" – tracking trends and strategic goals among the 11 institutions in the State University System – has been transmitted to the House Speaker, Senate President and the Governor. For the first time in its history, the report also includes a web-based interactive dashboard.
The Annual Accountability Report was transformed this year from two binders of hundreds of pages that previously provided 11 separate and extensive sections – one for each institution in the State University System – to a far more user-friendly 27-page document, supplemented by critical financial data for context. In the front 27 pages, each one of the metrics is supplemented with an at-a-glance corresponding data table that includes all 11 institutions. It is a significant reformatting that increases the readability and understanding of these performance measurements for our stakeholders and the taxpayers. To see the report, and access to the interactive dashboard, see www.flbog.edu (bottom right section).
The report not only satisfies but exceeds more than six reporting requirements of the Legislature in Florida Statutes.
Please see the attached transmittal letter for more details.
About the State University System of Florida
The State University System of Florida is governed by a 17-member Board of Governors, a constitutional body and led by appointed public servants. The System is comprised of 11 institutions with a total enrollment of more than 320,000 students, making it the fourth-largest public university system in the nation in terms of enrollment (some states have more than one university system). The Florida Constitution (Article IX, Section 7) was amended by the state's voters in 2002 to establish a statewide system of governance for all Florida public universities. As a result, the Florida Board of Governors was created in 2003 to oversee the State University System of Florida. Responsibilities include defining the distinctive mission of each institution and ensuring the well-planned coordination and operation of the System. The Board's 17 members include 14 appointed by the Governor, with three serving by virtue of their designations (a faculty member, a Florida Student Association student representative, and the Florida Commissioner of Education). The Board of Governors appoints a Chancellor who serves as the chief executive and administrative officer of the State University System. For more, including the Board's Annual Report that reflects accountability measurements and benchmarks occurring at each institution, see www.flbog.edu.

Jason Segel Transforms Into David Foster Wallace — Shocking New Pic
Eat your heart out, Daniel Day Lewis. Hold on tight to that Oscar, Jared Leto! There's a new actor in Tinseltown making some crazy bodily transformations and it's NOT who you'd expect.
Funnyman Jason Segel, who is best known for roles in hit comedies like I Love You Man, Knocked Up, This is 40 and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, is undergoing quite the physical transformation to play author David Foster Wallace on the big screen. The first pics of Jason on set surfaced on March 19, and you won't believe what he looks like now!
Jason Segel Goes Full David Foster Wallace For Movie Role
To play the role of David Foster Wallace in The End of the Road, which begins filming this spring, Jason has traded his signature bohemian "guy's guy" style — hawaiian shorts and a t-shirt — for a much grungier look. It's difficult to recognize him as DFW thanks to the long hair he's sporting and because we're not used to seeing him wear glasses. But he's definitely pulling off one helluva unique look!
Based on Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky's book, Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace, the film also stars Jesse Eisenberg (The Squid and the Whale) as Lipsky. And with this kind of commitment from Segel, we wonder if the Oscars will take notice of his physical transformation next year. Hey, it worked for Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey this year!
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Jason's transformation? Are you excited to see Jason Segel in a dramatic role for a change? Hit the comments!

Gupta Challenges U.S. Wiretaps in Appeal
Former Goldman Sachs Director Says Rajaratnam Phone Records Shouldn't Have Been Used in His Insider-Trading Trial
Rajat Gupta was convicted on insider-trading charges in part due to phone records that showed he finished a conference call with the board of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and called a friend who was a hedge-fund manager, who moments later placed a profitable trade on Goldman stock.
His lawyer argued Tuesday it was merely a coincidence.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The two candidates for an eastern North Carolina congressional district are accusing each other of misleading the public about legislative records and work history.
Eight-term incumbent Democrat Mike McIntyre of Lumberton and Republican challenger David Rouzer of Benson traded charges during a half-four program on WRAL-TV that aired over the weekend. Redistricting has expanded the district northwest to the Raleigh suburbs of Johnston County.
Rouzer accused McIntyre of raising the national debt and voting for amnesty for illegal immigrants.
McIntyre said Rouzer was the one who lobbied Congress to bring illegal immigrants to the state and accused him of lobbying for a "foreign country" in Washington. Rouzer said he was working to export U.S. tobacco to Japan and improve the guest-worker program to help North Carolina farmers.

Hi everyone,
we use the server edition in between 8 people....and only 1 of us is using Mac, all the others use Windows. The one that uses Mac has troubles with launching Photoshop through IDI Photosupreme. It says that the file is not found. But the software can see it, the path is correct and there is no problem to open the file dirrectly in Photoshop. None of these windows computers has problem with that.
Is there anyone who has the same experience, or any suggestion, how could we solve it please?
Thank you very much for your help!
File not found on Mac

Japanese Sencha
Sencha is very popular in Japan and is traditionally known as a "guest tea," brought out to impress others (just as we, in America, might with fine china or crystal). There is actually a Sencha tea ceremony, with several schools offering courses for this fine art.
The highest quality teas in Japan come from the prefectures of Shizuoka and Uji. Our Sencha comes from Shizuoka. Beginning at the end of April/start of May of every year, many Japanese head to Shizuoka to witness the first leaf growth. This is known as the "first Cha" or "wakabi".
Much of the elegance and color of this fine tea is due in part to the Japanese style of processing: steamed immediately after plucking, it is then air-dried. These two steps help preserve the flavor, fragrance, and wonderful color of the tea. Finally, the leaves are either roasted or pan-fried, helping them to achieve the mild, nutty flavor they are prized for.
Sencha is a vivid green tea with exceptionally smooth leaves that provide a clear, yellow-green liquid that is grassy, sweet, and clearly astringent. Invite the neighbors over for tea and enjoy!

International/National Client Comments
My two year old chihuahua Abbey has had severe car anxiety from the day we brought her home at 12 weeks. It was been miserable as we like to travel to see our kids and I also enjoy taking my two chihuahua's where ever I can. I tried everything, the spray, the tape, the jacket, strong tranquilizers and those did not even work! She always wanted to go but once in the car she would cry and whine non stop,,while her sister would just enjoy the ride and love the warm sun. I was miserable, Abbey was miserable and giving her drugs was not my idea of a solution as it is dangerous to give such a small dog these drugs. well I followed Karen's advice, I did everything she said, it did not happen overnight but all of a sudden I realized my car was quiet and I looked back and she was snuggled up with her sister enjoying her outing. We were at our wits end as this was going on for two years and to pay a sitter to come to the house is 100.00 a day so it made it very expensive when we could of taken her and we all would of been so much happier. I have referred Karen to many of my dog friends and they are all amazed at her gift of understanding the relationship between the owner and the dog. I knew it was something I was doing but just did not know how to fix it. When ever an issue comes up as dogs are like kids always learning or I am still learning this is where I find the answers. thank you Karen from Abbey and Maggie and especially mommy! We think you are the best dog trainer out there :)
Nancy Lucky

Multimedia speaker manufacturer Edifier has added a whole range of new colour schemes to its dinky 2.1 Aurora system. Comprising a tubular subwoofer and two miniature golf-ball satellites, the system is designed for PC use mainly, and is portable enough to also accompany a laptop.
As there is a 3.5mm mini-jack port, it's also suitable for any kind of MP3 player. And, although it's only wee, it is capable of coughing out 22 Watts of power through the stereo pair alone. The bass unit comprises a 2-inch, magnetically sealed woofer.
However, it is the new range of colours that make the Aurora stand out among the crowd. Naturally, as is the way with these things, the colour schemes have interesting names: Asphalt Grey, Electric Blue, Liquid Silver, Luminous Yellow, Midnight Blue, Passion Pink, Spicy Red, Stormy Black, Tangy Orange, being nine of them. But "Original Red" is our favourite. It's the colour that red was originally, before it went off the rails and started its experimental phase, culminating in a long stint at a colour detox camp before announcing a new back-to-its-roots tour.
Costing £49.99, and available from stores such as Amazon and Currys, the mutli-coloured Aurora speakers are out now.

It can be named "the king of basketball shoes in this century". Nike Air Jordan 11 first released in 1996. The shoe brought success to Jordan's returning career to basketball winning MVP award twice for the regular season. The crisp design of the Air Jordan 11 stunned everyone. The Air Jordan 11 design is based on the classic tuxedo dress shoe.
Designed by Tinker Hatfield while hoping MJ would return to the NBA, the shoe is composed of ballistic nylon mesh along the top half, with shiny patent leather sitting below. We've also seen low-top versions releases that do away with the patent leather look. While patent leather has a formal look, it also served a true purpose. The material was more lightweight than traditional leather, and tended not to stretch as much, which would help Michael's feet stay within the bounds of the footbed while committing hard cuts or slashes

Derek Garza & Brent Long - Theatre Alumni
Long ('05) and Derek Garza ('05) met at Adams State and quickly became
best friends. Today, they are operating their own professional theatre
company in Chicago.
Founded in 2010, the Mortar Theatre Company is a collaborative group of actors, directors, designers and playwrights committed to making socially conscious theatre and championing new plays.
work initiates community dialogue by lifting up and exploring stories
of everyday heroes who shape our society. As Adams State theatre
majors, Derek and Brent earned an education that has changed their lives
and, in turn, they are changing the world around them.
The Adams State Theatre Department instilled in me a sense of wonder of the stage. Something that I still feel as strongly as I did the first time I stepped out in front of an audience when I was a freshman. Studying at Adams State let me experience theatre from all angles, backstage to onstage, playwright to actor to director to stage manager. And I couldn't have picked a better place to do it. I made lasting friendships and worked with tremendous artists that I still can count on for their talents and insights. -- Brent Long

Accession Number
Medium or Technique
Not On View
Common in grave, tomb, and temple contexts, small vessels such as this example are often called "offering bowls/dishes" or, because of their small size, "model bowls." In ancient times they could be used for the presentation of offerings at a tomb or temple or as model offerings in and of themselves. Some were also employed as lids for jars with mouths of appropriate diameter. Such dishes/lids are most often made of medium to coarse grades of clay. Knife-cut or cord-cut bases are common, though rounded bases occur as well. Frequent irregularities or asymmetry in shaping reflect fast work and mass production. This example is particularly wide and shallow.
From Nuri, Pyramid 13 (tomb of Harsiyotef), foundation deposit. Excavated by the Harvard University–Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition; assigned to the MFA in the division of finds by the government of the Sudan.

Somebody who watches another person's screen when playing a split screen fps game, in order to give them hints on their location, or to know when they are coming for them. Causes very much frustration to the person who is being stalked.

By Jessica Robinson • Nov 12, 2013 In an effort to stop a spate of gonorrhea outbreaks, at least one public health department in the Pacific Northwest is offering a helpful service to infected patients: anonymous notification of former sexual partners. That's right. A government worker will track down and contact each ex for you. Awkward for all concerned? Yes. But at a time when gonorrhea is becoming stubbornly drug-resistant, health officials see it as time — and embarrassment — well spent. High-End Extras Aren't A Sure Bet For Tribal Casinos By Jessica Robinson • Oct 9, 2013 What used to be no-frills slot parlors off the highway are turning into resort-style destinations with spas, golf courses and luxury hotels. Native American tribes are hoping these added amenities will give them an edge in an increasingly competitive gaming market. Big Bucks Attract High School Grads To Mining By Jessica Robinson • Feb 17, 2012 This spring, some high school grads in Idaho, Montana, Alaska and Nevada may see some good job prospects. The recent spike in metal prices, combined with a shortage of miners, means mining companies are hiring. So some teens are opting not to go to college, and instead are heading underground. But these high-paying jobs also come at a high cost. An Educator Questions His Own Path

A Boyscout Reservation In upstate New York, It's home to three sub camps. Wabeeka, Buckskin, and Summit Base. Wabeeka is the crappist of the camps in where the Scouts have to cook their own food and live in near poverty. Camp Buckskin is the largest of the camps and the reason the reservation is able to exist. Camp Buckskin holds a little over 500 scouts and most of the kids in the camp are "Dumpster Kids." Summit base is the smallest camp and home to the cockiest people on earth. Summit is infamous for having the laziest staff and breaking the most vehicles. In total the Scout Reservation is home to over 2000 kids per summer. Despite the conditions that exist all over the camp the staff is drawn back to the camp for no apparent reason.
"Hey how was Camp Curtis S. Read?"
-"Buckskin seemed ok, but boy did wabeeka suck!"
